The agenda for the Overview & Scrutiny Panel was published on this web-blog earlier.
A couple of items and questions/answers in respect to Whittlesey…

1/ Cllr Dee Laws informed us that the safety enhancements for the ‘Market Place/Buttercross would now be done slightly differently than was orginally planned –

There is a ‘trip concern’ stepping off the Buttercross onto the Market Place and there has been a few incidents.
Funding from the CPCA (Cambs & Peterboro Combined Authority) for the Heritage Centre
(which has been shelved) was re-allocated for other projects – this being one.

However I believe the figure of £10,000 was set aside to level up the ‘Block-Paving’ – this figure has been deemed insufficient and therefor a different approach will now happen.
Highlighting the area will now take place.

2/ I asked FDC Leader Cllr Boden, where were are with the consultation for the Whittlesey Refief Road.
He informed that this report is planned for sometime in 2025.
So we won’t know what/if/costs/feasibility may be contained in the report for some time yet.

There maybe a further update to this article tomorrow……

Before the 1st Clean – Up

This Saturday – Cllr Barry Wainwright.

Thanks to RB

Was originally planned to open Monday 09th, however looking at it on Sunday, still a
little way to go…..

We estimate around 5,000+ visitors today, yes like last year we had an hour of rain, then the sun returned and so did the families.
Bigger and getting better year-on-year.

No other town in Fenland put on as many as Whittlesey, supported mainly by ‘Volunteers’ and sponsored partly in many cases by Whittlesey Town Council.

Still to come this year The Christmas Extravaganza.

A full day of family fun, music, activities and events – 2024 Whittlesey Festival
